Hey Everyone,
Please let me know if this has happened to you or you can suggest anything. I woke up last night at about 12 am with severe lower back pain. I did not sleep more that 2 hours the whole night. When I got up the first thing I did was vomit. I called in sick to work and got into my general doc first thing. He said he thought it might be a virus (I was sick the week before) that settled in my kidneys or a bacterial infection. I am not bleeding and my urine is light yellow (not cloudy). He did a urine sample on me and said my proteins and white blood cell count were up a little, but I had no sugar in my urine (which is good). He gave me a shot of antibiotics and I had just started cipro last night right before the pain started, to combat my sinuses. Is there something he is missing? Could it be kidney stones or kidney failure? How do you know? He said if I didn't respond to the antibiotics within 24 hours to come back.
I asked him if taking zithro (MWF) while I take cipro (and 3 advil- since I never take pain killers) would have compromised something and he said no.
Any ideas on what this might be? How do you know if it's kidney failure? If it is, what will happen to me? Do you die right away? Sorry for the panic, I am just so worried. This has never happened before.
